Julianne Moore is expected to win best actress for her very professional and touching role in Still Alice, whether she does, we will find out soon,haven't seen the movie myself yet....

Others expected to win are, Patricia Arquette for her role as Mother in Boyhood, she was great in there, The movie is also vying for Best Picture with Clint Eastwood's American Sniper.
